The driver door module (DDM) or passenger door module (PDM) controls the mirror horizontal and vertical motors through the use of bi-directional motor controls. When the mirror is commanded up, voltage is supplied to the mirror vertical motor through the driver/passenger mirror motor right/down motors common circuit and ground is supplied through the driver/passenger mirror motor down control circuit. When the mirror is commanded down, voltage is supplied to the mirror vertical motor through the driver/passenger mirror motor down control circuit and ground is supplied through the driver/passenger mirror motor right/down motors common circuit.

Horizontal controls operate in the same manner with the driver/passenger mirror motor right/down motors common circuit supplying voltage and the driver/passenger mirror motor right control circuit supply a ground to the mirror horizontal motor when the mirror is commanded right. When the mirror is commanded left, voltage is supplied to the mirror horizontal motor through the driver/passenger mirror motor right control circuit and ground is supplied through the driver/passenger mirror motor right/down motors common circuit.

Battery voltage must be between 9-16 volts.

A mirror motor control circuit is shorted to voltage or ground.

Mirror movement is suspended as long as the fault is present.

Command the left and right outside mirror to move up, down, left and right using the mirror directional switch. The mirror should move in the commanded direction.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the X3 harness connector at the appropriate door module.
2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp does not illuminate between the following control circuit terminals and ground:

•	Control circuit terminal B4

•	Control circuit terminal B2

•	Control circuit terminal B6

⇒	If the test lamp illuminates, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to voltage.

3. Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the following control circuits and ground:

•	Control circuit terminal B4

•	Control circuit terminal B2

•	Control circuit terminal B6

⇒	If less the specified value, test the appropriate control circuit for a short to ground.

4. Test for 40-100 ohms between the control circuit terminal B4 and the control circuit terminal B6.

⇒	If not within the specified range, test both control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the rearview mirror motor.

5. Test for 40-100 ohms between the control circuit terminal B2 and the control circuit terminal B6.

⇒	If not within the specified range, test both control circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the rearview mirror motor.

6. If all circuits test normal, replace the door module.
